"A great RPG made by Bioware prior to Mass Effect this game is what inspired them to make the Mass Effects games to allow more creative liberty."

What can I say about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic that hasn't already been said. It is a wonderfully made RPG set within the rich, well-loved universe of Star Wars. This game has it all for both Star Wars fans and RPG fans.

Get it, play it, love it.Play the sequel. love it.Play SWTOR and get angry.

Before Mass Effect there was Knights of the Old Republic. Bioware, in 2003, decided to introduce a decision-making system which enabled you, the player, to align yourself with either the light or the dark side. Major plot decisions could be made and your gender could also yield different options during the conversations.

This is one of the things one can like in KotOR. The two different alignments enable you to have at least two different playthroughs. But you have many side missions anyway. Even the companions can give you some.

The world where the game takes place in shows us the previously unknown history of the Star Wars universe. A world that is 4,000 years before the films are taking place. You are awaken on a ship that is being attacked by Darth Malak. Your job is to escape, find companions, regroup and annihilate your archenemy. Of course, in the process you get to learn the Jedi way!

Do note that the game is round-based. You pick the actions necessary (though this is limited each round) and you can even pause at certain points. You can also make a decision on behalf of your companions - the choice is really yours. What I have found out about the game later on is that it is based on Dungeons and Dragons rules. And the actions are calculated in accordance with these rules. As to how successfully the dice were rolled and what modifications were applied to the damages you are not told - but this is accessible from a menu.

The game has excellent music (composed by Jeremy Soule), a long-lasting experience and, well, I wanted to say good graphics, but as the game has aged in the last 10 years or so, this is not really true anymore. Still, the art design is as Star Wars-esque as it can get and this being a Bioware RPG I highly recommend it. Not just for Star Wars fans or Bioware fans but to everybody wanting to have a good time!

I re-purchased this on Steam to show further support. This game, and it's sequal, are two of the best RPGs ever made. If you have any interest in Star Wars or in Role Playing Games at all, please buy this. It's almost incomparably good.

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic is a fantastic game. It really doesn't get better than this. The amazing Story, the fun gameplay, the likeable characters , everything seems to be perfect on this game. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone that considers himself a Star Wars fan, and loves the Old Republic era. And after playing KOTOR, you should definitely give KOTOR 2 a try. (Sadly I doubt there would ever be a KOTOR 3)

I have heard people having issues while running this game(specially in new hardware), but I can't really say anything about that. The game played normally on my computer, with no problems.

Best Star Wars game I've ever played, hands down. Graphics obviously a bit dated nowadays and there are a few bugs here and there depending on your OS; however, don't let this stop you from playing one of the best RPGs in the last decade!

So good! I was skeptical about the gameplay when I used to watch videos of this game but it works really well. You have 20 levels to rank up jedi powers, combat skills and feats (your starting class determines which of these 3 categories gets the most points per level up). A jedi power available is force lightning, a combat skill is something like flurry which increases your number of attacks but they deal less damage and might not hit and a feat is which type of armour you can wear or other passive benefits.Combat is played on a turn-based dice roll system which might sound off-putting but works out well. Throughout the game you will meet characters who join you on your spaceship and you may choose 2 of them to accompany you outside of the ship. Companions will have their own stats, gear and skills so you can play around this (if you come across a companion with high lockpicking you might choose not to level your own and swap to this companion to unlock things for you). You can choose to level up your companions skills manually or automatically. You can choose preset combat manoeuvres for yourself and companions such as ranged attacking or jedi support (buffs and heals) or you can choose to manually decide you and your parties actions by pausing the combat and assign attacks and items to a queue. You also don't have to use companions at all, you can elect to play in a solo mode where all the exp gained from enemies will go straight to your character. You also don't have to worry about this mode because companions will automatically be boosted to your level if you haven't used them.How you play the game is up to you. I went for a dual-lightsaber character with light armour and attack bonus jedi powers but you can play as a sniper, explosives expert, jedi caster or even unarmed fighting. The story is really what made the experience for me however. You will travel to multiple planets, gain your own starship, meet interesting characters and get to interact with almost every NPC you come across with multiple lines of dialogue and character development. One downside to this game is that you can't play in a widescreen resolution without using mods (although guides can be found for this on the forums here on steam, along with HD mods and many others).

Whether you are into the Star Wars universe or not, KotOR is one of the best sci-fi RPGs ever made.

There is so much to love about KotOR that it is hard to decide what to begin with. Everything feels fleshy and alive. NPCs interactions are outstanding and those between the members of your party give this game even more "thickness". The levels are very well designed and diverse: deserts, cities, ruins, spaceships, underwater stations, ... not two places are the same, barring enemy bases. And with a tool like Flawless Widescreen to make the game 1080p, they take a new dimension. The plot is great, with a few twists and important choices. Combat, despite being turn-based with behind-the-scenes dice rolls, is excellent too. And then there is the pazaak minigame and swoop races if you need cash or a break from the main plot! Even a decade after its release, Knights of the Old Republic does not feel outdated at all and truly deserves its place as a classic.

No game is perfect and KotOR is no exception: The camera movements are a little weird at times, the difficulty is uneven, there is a lot of unnecessary walking, and the poor inventory system makes it hard to find items as the list gets longer. I had a few crashes, especially with the movies that I had to remove entirely to prevent CTDs.

+ Character creation allows stat customizations right from the get-go, and goes the extra mile by adding a 'recommended' button that offers balanced numbers based on class; useful feature for beginners+ Very even and agreeable pace throughout the entirety of the game; never felt too fast, slow, or interspersed with filler content+ Excellent, marvelous soundtrack; really keeps you in the game, and does well to make this title feel true to the franchise+ Mercifully short load times+ There are myriad available side-quests, all voiced+ Combat mechanics are well thought-out (despite 'dice-roll' RNG, of which I am not normally fond, as a general rule) and give you plenty of room for creativity and finesse+ Excellent story with lots of depth and freedom of choice+ While some characters remained a bit two-dimensional throughout the game, the majority of them are adequately fleshed-out and seem to develop to some extend+ The game includes a few optional minigames (eg. Pazaak Cards)+ Multiple endings, based entirely around the player's decisions+ Tons and tons of lore-friendly set-pieces and items (both practical and aesthetic)+ Extremely, alarmingly mod-friendly+ An absolute plethora of immersive dialogue options+ Boasts a few masterful plot twists

- Poor camera; you get used to it, but it's initially quite frustrating and limited in functionality- Poor inventory system; throws everything into one long list as you accumulate items, leading to lots of monotonous scrolling when looking for equipment (mostly a problem for fellow hoarders, you could just sell all of your junk)- Mostly flat, uninspired voice-overs (some voice actors were of inordinately better quality, though that mostly served to highlight the disparity)- AI movement is mostly terrible, leading to waiting for characters to catch up, and lots of blocked doors/paths- While the plot is generally very strong, some of the dialogue writing is bland and lazy- Lots and lots of bugs and glitches; most notably terrain glitches and a few CTDs (some of this can be fixed with a small amount of modding, I'm told)- The autosave function is too sparse in functionality, and has led to some extremely frustrating moments

One of the best games I've ever played. Seriously.Skip to the bottom if you want a TL;DR.According to Steam I've only played 23 hours' worth – that's not true. I've always had weird problems with the whole connection with Steam – one day it'll say I've played 31 hours, the next it'll say I've only played 7. I am pretty sure I've logged over 40 hours of gameplay on this.Not much, when you compare it to other people's times. But I'm not a hardcore gamer. I game when I have some spare time.This game is seriously good.Sure, the combat is a bit odd and clunky, especially if you're used to modern games or if you don't role-play, but give it a bit and it'll feel natural. I actually prefer it.The story is gripping, the characters well-developed.It really does it's job in inserting you into the Star Wars universe, and story wise I have no complaints.One complaint I do have is the length of time you spend running around. It's at least seventy percent of the game. And for some reason it just feels like a real drag.TL;DR?Excellent game, story is brilliant, role-play-style combat system, too much running around.

Ok let me just start off by saying best thing since the movies. I didn't think it would be any good or that much fun but let me tell you it is most certainly worth buying. It has a good story good charecters the combat is just ok and also has a great plot twist. Also the light and dark choices and options were so distinct. Bottom line best thing bioware made next to mass effect so get it now! However if you didn't like the star wars movies you might not like this.....

By far one of the best RPG games i have played. At first the battle style was very different from what i am used to, but as I progressed farther into the game and i understood it more and the story became more developed I started to really like the battle system. It can either be a faster paced or step by step battle. Also, this game has one of the best storylines i have ever played and the interactive part and choosing light or dark side really made this game what it is. If you are considering buying this game, don't hesitate, just do it.

This is not only the game that got me into Bioware, but it might be my first RPG I actually tried to get good at and learn the mechanics of; setting the oath for my love of RPG's as a whole. It's not perfect and it can be argued if it aged well or not, but it's a lot of fun to play and has a great story if you let it suck you in.

The game itself follows the tried and tested D&D rules like many Bioware games, with this game using a variation of 3rd/3.5 Edition rules; at least that's what it reminded me of. Put simpler; Dexterity for guns, Strength for melee. Feats add to abilities, skills and the like and force users essentially get a magic bar and the choice of powers every few levels. There's also the use of the ever present Dark side/Light side choice in Star Wars. This is mainly to affect opinions of your team mates in some conversations, but it also provides cheaper Force use for certain powers if they conincide with your alignment (Spamming Lightning never became easier!). It's nice simple, it works. There are a few useless powers and feats, but really, that's subjective on my part and there's probably someone out there for every combination.

As for the atmosphere and world building, I won't go into too much detail. It's Bioware, by this point we all know that Bioware can excel at this. I will say though that by being set years before the movies, there's a nice chance to set up some new villains and situations that provide a nice background to everythgin; I'd say the whole story is a huge point in the games favour.

Like I said though, the games not perfect. It's hard to ignore that the levels you visist are essentially successions of corridor after corridor. There's one path that reaches the end, sometimes you divert off it for secrets, but the apth is always there. The game tries to disuguise this, and I admit, it took me a while to catch on, but it's there, and hard to ignore once you notice. Not to mention, without spoiling it, the end game can feel a little sloggish with how it handles itself. It can be fun, but your first time, without expecting it, prepare for a lot of reloads.

Still, despite all that, the game's a tonne of fun to play and I love to return to it once in a while. I'd easily say it's worth every penny and should be played by everyone at least once; wholeheartedly reccomended

There are 3 different classes with different skills and abilities.You better google search for more details on that, might be a little too complex for this review.

For example, in certain situations, depending on your abilities, you might be able to intimidate or pursuade people, repair or hack some machinery to help you out, unlock certain doors and containers.

There are blasters, melee weapons (swords and lightsabers) and different grenades to use in combat.Aside from that, there is also a variety of force powers you can use, though you have to unlock those abilities with skill points first.

Combat is turn based and pausable, so you can plan out fights pretty well.You can switch between your main character and his companions (if you have any) and control their actions in battle - Or you just let the game do it for you.

Companions level up as well, and you can upgrade their skills accordingly.

Might wanna check some gameplay on youtube if you wanna see what it's exactly like.

A lot of times in the game you have to make decisions, which either give you light side or dark side points. This also has an impact on how people react towards you.(Just a heads up: Being a good guy is way more tiresome and expensive. Just kill everyone.)

The game runs perfectly for me on Windows 8.1 Professional 64 bit, the only little annoying bug I had fixed itself when turning on V-Sync, though I can't guarantee. Some people have reported problems. You should check out the community hub for that.
